innocence method

? Hearing the reasoning about the two deaths is a later date.

On the third evening after entering the experimental institution, the place I was in was the dining room.Sitting next to the monkey who took off his hat, Qi felt the water vapor permeate the boy's brown-orange hair, dripping drop by drop onto the floor.After seeing Jelly's death, he fell into a deep sleep.

The man who reasoned was the wolf.At that time, Qi ignored the air that seemed to squeeze him, turned around and left without saying anything.According to the dog's report, beside the monkey and himself, who could no longer listen to anything at that time, the wolf immediately checked the corpse and made on-the-spot reasoning.

The cause of death of the two?

Jelly was stabbed into the liver and spleen from behind with a table knife that can be seen everywhere in this facility, and the table knife was still stuck in his back when he was found.That way, I'm afraid he won't be able to die for a while, and the real cause of death should be hemorrhage.I chose this kind of tool without any creativity-it's really the style of that stupid man.

As for the brain-damaged man—I’ve seen his wounds—and the woman—no, the blade in the boy’s hand is absolutely identical; I also went to the kitchen to check that thing—that is, the blade of the juicer is missing. wrong.However, it really surprised me. ——In this place, there should be no other things that are more portable than that and suitable for him who has little strength, right?

...The kid said before that he was a killer, right?Regardless of whether this sentence is true or not, whether it is out of self-defense or killing intent, he should have removed the blade early in the morning.

time of death?

ah?You won't forget that kind of thing can't be inferred.Snow?I beg you not to intervene during my reasoning.

Both of them were buried at the bottom, and they were exposed only after the snow had almost melted around noon - so the time of death was almost when the snow started to fall - within an hour of yesterday's separation.Based on the fact that they were buried at the same depth—the two probably died around the same time.

What happened?

Jelly was naked when he died, and the skirt thrown aside in the snow was intact, so it can be inferred that he should be killed after being coerced by a bull with a knife to take off his clothes.Jelly's wound is on the back, and the cow's is on the front, so the process of things is probably like this:

Jelly's original destination was probably our place, and Niu followed him with a knife.He had already reached the yard, and it would be too late if he didn't make a move, so the cow called Curry and forced him to take off his clothes, but he didn't expect that the other party was a boy.

I'm inclined to think that the cow was going to kill the curry anyway.But the pervert didn't seem to give up after finding out that Jelly was a boy, and still forced Jelly to turn around... and then stabbed the knife in like that.

Too bad jelly isn't dumb.He lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead, waiting for the opportunity—the moment the cow turned him over, he stabbed the cow several times in the lower abdomen with the blade he had hidden in his hand for a long time.The blood around the cow proved that he never got up after being stabbed there.And judging from the condition of the wound - the jelly probably made a lot of repairs to the same place.

As for the jelly... the knife stuck in his body was not pulled out, and the amount of bleeding was very small, and it was snowing again, so the blood was too coherent to be found, but the child probably struggled and walked several steps toward us Just fell down... The place where he was lying was facing the door of the gym.Jelly's death was not easy, but it was far worse than that idiot.Looking at the mess around him, I really want to know how long he has been rolling—or, did Jelly see him rolling on the ground before he repaired those knives.

——It doesn't seem like an ordinary child, that jelly.

Other people's suspicions?

So is there anything else to ask?The four of us are the certifiers of each other's alibi.As for the woman - it is now certain that the cow was stabbed to death in the snow, and the two men were buried in the snow almost at the same time; Jelly was stabbed to death from the back after taking off her clothes, unless you want to say that he Run naked, otherwise sneak attack is absolutely impossible.There are countless other possibilities - do you really think that woman is capable of stabbing the cow and jelly at almost the same time, and then dumping both of them here?

Question seven is over.

"I have one last question..." he said.

"Do you want to know whether the child was...?" Wolf pointed at the table with his finger, looking into Qi's eyes: "——it's meaningless to discuss this now."

Dan Qi closed his eyes slightly, and shook his head lightly.

"I don't want to ask that - Wolf, 'How much of your sentence is left now?'..."

"Why?" Wolf raised his eyes vigilantly, but Qi didn't finish his sentence.

"—You've only been thinking about that since just now, haven't you?"

"..."

"……What do you mean?"

"I've been a little worried since just now, but you didn't realize it at all?"

"Tsk. Tell me to pretend to be like this again—" But Seven interrupted him:

"In this room, don't you find that something that should be there is missing?"

"I've said it all, and then give me—" the wolf stopped speaking.

Eye sockets wide open—hands on the table—stand up.Completely ignoring the fact that Qigou and the monkey were alone, "slammed open the door and ran out"——Qi almost wanted to use this dramatic phrase to describe him.

The bird is gone.

"There's no need to look for it anymore, right? It's the same as that old man's situation, isn't that woman already dead?"——The dog's words are very inappropriate, and Qi feels that this scene is somewhat familiar.

If there was any difference—this time, the wolf didn't bother to explain it to the dog.

"It's completely different from the situation at that time, dog." Qi said calmly: "It was already overnight when the sheep were found missing, and the corpses were naturally disposed of by the organizer; but from lunch to now, the birds have only disappeared together." It’s been less than five hours—the courtroom doors didn’t close for five hours. There’s no doubt she’s still on the grounds.”

The dog raised an eyebrow.Asked by Qi to leave the monkey alone in the gym, the two of them are still accompanying the wolf to find the bird.

The look on that man's face right now is indescribable.As if looking into the drawer through a steaming steamer, Qi couldn't detect the expression on the wolf's face.

It's as if he is a steamer... He exudes steam that makes people unable to get close.

The cooking room, the dining room, the infirmary, the gymnasium; the rooms of the cow and the monkey, the dog and the seven, the sheep, the fish, and the wolf themselves; every tiny corner of the courtyard, the interior of the remaining snow and bushes, under the tablecloth , under the bed, under the monkey's quilt, and even under the sheet covered with three corpses—except for his room, which was turned into a secret room because of Gel's death—"There is only that place that I haven't looked for. Go up and have a look, although I don't think you'll find birds there."

Qi said so, and climbed up the iron ladder leading to the courtroom.

Unlocking the lock, he pushed hard on the iron door that seemed to connect them with another world.

"Ah." He stopped.

"what happened?"

Qi didn't answer, he freed up his hands and used his shoulders to push it.

"Speak, you!"

The wolf with its head up at the bottom of the iron ladder.Biting the tip of his thumb as if it would hurt to do otherwise.

"It seems... stuck."

"Trash! I'm coming!" Almost before Qi's feet touched the ground, the wolf grabbed him and climbed to the top of the iron ladder. It seemed that the wolf only touched him lightly.

The iron door opened in response.

Wolf, Qi, and Dog stood in the courtroom.Quietly.

The frozen air seemed to be full of long-lost breath, but Qi didn't want to take too much breath.The vents are useless.More dead bugs appeared on the table, layer upon layer as if to express his boredom with this place to the extreme.

There are no dead bodies.

no birds.

Nothing at all.

The room met the wolf's despairing gaze with its unaltered, deathly attitude.

Later, the wolf walked around the room with the gymnasium and the personal housing again, and knocked on the closed jelly door again and again. "Hey—are you in there? Just say yes if you're inside", "If I find you in there later, I will never forgive you"!Kicking the door with a bang, the wolf was shocked by the reaction force and fell backwards, just landing in the arms of Qi who was helping at the side, but he only took a quick breath before shaking off Qi's arm.

"Wolf... I don't think she's in the bird, and you shouldn't think she's in it either," Qi said.

"You were the first to find Jelly's body—she didn't have the key to her room with her at that time. She was covered under snow before you found it—take out the key without leaving any traces, and then remove the person or clothes It’s impossible to bury it back...the only time to get the key is before that. Don’t you—are you claiming that the bird is the murderer of Jelly?”

"Is there any other possibility besides this!" Leaning against the door of Jelly, the wolf closed his eyes: "Sure enough, that woman has..."

Looking at him, he planned to walk away silently.However--

"...Wait." As if caught by a trap from behind, Qi stood still.

"what happened?"

"In the morning, what did that woman tell you?"

"Well, I said something very important."

"what?"

"I can't——tell you."—About Qi's words, he felt a tightness in his throat before his voice came out.bang.The soles of Qi's feet were almost off the ground, and his whole body was nailed to the wall by five fingers.

"Hey--"

"It's all right." He quickly raised his hand to stop the dog beside him.

"What the hell did you say?—Say!" The fingers grabbing Seven's throat vibrated and tightened again.

Panting in pain, Seven lowered his head.

"Wolf, I really don't understand."—"You don't care."

"..."

"The bird was looking for you first this morning.—'I have nothing to say to you'—isn't that what you answered."

"..."

"So what are you doing now?"

— The wolf does not respond. "...that woman said 'I want to get out of here' - what does that mean? Hey! Tell me!" His expression still maintained the model of the blue veins bursting out when he pushed Qi to the wall, but it seemed that someone After pressing the pause button, there is no pain or itching anymore.

"You don't have to worry about that, Bird didn't commit suicide. Even if she committed suicide, I think her body will still be left in this building, and she won't be alive or dead."

"Where is that corpse, where is it?"

Seven looked at the wolf.Until the opponent's blue gray eyes began to tremble.

"Besides those rooms just now, I really can't think of where else she could be. And—"

"Please don't say that to the 'wolf'—that's what the bird said."

In the middle of the night, when she was rubbing her hair with a towel, she passed the door of the wolf and the bird's room. Seven found the door was open, and the wolf was sitting on the ground against the foot of the bed, with one hand on his knee, looking at the ceiling.

"...I see. I was wrong, so tell me what that woman said. Please."——Before walking around the corner, I thought the other party didn't notice the sound coming from behind my seven.But Seven didn't look back. "Already—" facing the opposite direction from the wolf, he answered with a mouth shape that the other party couldn't see.

too late.
